What are they indirectly subsidising? It costs the poison dwarf very little in the grand scheme of things - OK, there's the TV production (but he gets paid for that), but he doesn't provide the stands, armco etc. The teams, maybe. But not Bernie and his parasitical venture capitalist organ grinders.

Also, with my proposed committee (based on bjohnsonsmith's proposals) to run thing, with more thought I would add a representative for each non-racing engine supplier, one representing the Big Six races and one representing the rest of the races and one for the tyre supplier. And the only 100 year contract would be for the Monaco GP
